When I
looked closely in the world obsessed with religion, I found that superstition
trumps over the real meaning of God and religion, as mentioned in various
scriptures and religious books. Apparently evil is omnipotent, and not God.
Ghosts, spirits, poltergeists, vampires are visible, but not God. Poltergeists
are technically not visible, I know, but you get my point.
This world
is so obsessed with the so-called evil spirits, that God is now no more the
so-called superpower or the Ultimate Power, but just a means to drive away evil
entities. To the people who make money through these meaningless tasks of
"driving evil spirits away", I ask if this is what God's scriptures
have in them; this is what God meant when he made man like me and you; this is
what God has been left to do.
To resolve
this strange, and even more idiotic, world of superstition, I don't even need
to disprove God or His scriptures. All I have to do is question the real
content of those scriptures they say they have. From which they can say God
really existed. People say God is said to be omnipresent, and so is with us all
the time. So why do you have to specially call Him to help you drive away these
'ghosts' or 'demons' you keep driving away twice or thrice a day? If he really
is the Father rather than a father, why can't he understand that human isn't
capable of driving these faulty entities away, and just help us directly?
Now there
are two answers that follow, and I feel quite powered running a debate
single-handedly. One is that God is not free for us all the time; he has more
important tasks to do. If you have read the first post of this blog, what
exactly do you mean by that?
The other
answer is what my worthy opponent answered. He used quite a good example to set
a break to my thoughts. He said, "Recall the days when you were learning
to ride your bicycle. Your father used to accompany you from the back, while
you drove it, half-scared and half-thrilled. If you happened to stumble and
fall down, did your father prevent you from falling down each and every time,
or did he just sit beside you, encouraging you to stand back up and try riding
again?" Now that actually made me wonder. So if you really thought up to
this, you really are a worthy reader of this. So, it means that he wants to
guide us through our life, pleasant or stormy, by NOT helping us in our
problems? Does he want to say to say, "learn from your mistakes"? I
don’t see any sort of learning from fatal mistakes men have made since ages.
So, either
it is time for the 11th avatar of Lord Vishnu, or the world has been clearly declared
a God-free zone; because I don’t see this world on 'the path of illumination'
or on ' the road to enlightenment'. This world will remain as it is, unless you
yourself start believing that you are the God that will help make changes in
the world.
